I watched Heather Nichols' video tutorial for Make it Monday #158: Stamping with Watercolor Mediums earlier in the week and finally had time to play around today. I've watercolored using watercolor paint, inks and Distress Markers many times, but have never tried this technique with Gelatos until today.

I colored the feather image and used both the spritzing and water brush techniques on a few panels of watercolor paper. I quickly turned my favorite panel into a sympathy card,

I love the color gradient and that some areas are much less defined than others.

My two favorite storage items are my Expedit bookcases and Raskog card from Ikea. I have a 4x4 Expedit to the left and a 2x4 one behind me when I'm sitting at my desk. I love having everything within arms reach.

The Raskog cart sits on my right side and holds my most used tools on the top shelf. The middle shelf holds most of my adhesive and I love spinning it around to easily reach for glue dots, tapes, foam squares or liquid adhesives.

Just a reminder I am the Guest Designer for the Muse Challenge #61 and I would love to see you play along!

LOVE that watery feather - that's such a great image for that technique! And I love the mod feel of your oval card, too! Thanks so much for joining us at CAS-ual Fridays! And I also hope that all your readers will join us at Muse - such a great inspiration!

I spent the day playing with watercoloring, too. Your's looks beautiful using a feather. I love the second card, too. Ovals within ovals covered by embossed ovals. Wonderful. I have a card ready for Muse. I'd better get posting or I'll miss the deadlines.

Jacquie fabulous cards as always. I have to get that Rascog cart, almost went to IKEA today but ran out of time. Thanks for the glimpse into your space. Thank you so much for sharing with us at CAS-ual Fridays!

I love both of your cards today. That feather is especially beautiful. Fun workspace you have there, too. Oh, I am so far behind in my blog reader that I did not even know you were guesting at Muse. I will definitely try to play along this weekend.
